All of the recipes in my beloved Trader Joe’s series in one place! This series is one of my favorites as it truly is what we are wanting to cook most of the time – easy, healthy, and quick high-protein dinners that leave you satisfied without the hassle of a big cleanup.
Perfect for busy weeknights, these recipes not only provide a delicious dinner but also leave you with amazing leftovers for future lunches or dinners. It’s all about making your kitchen experience easy, enjoyable, and full of flavor!
Better Than Takeout: Beef & Broccoli: Just one pan, a simple and delicious sauce, and tons of protein & veggies! What more do you need?
Fall Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner With Maple Mustard Sauce: There really is just something about everything being on one sheet pan and throwing it in the oven. This one technically takes 30 minutes, but only takes like 5 minutes of actual work so I am still counting it in for this series.
Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs: These are honestly just so cute. Look at them. Also yummy and perfect served over rice with a sautéed veggie like broccolini or zucchini.
Sheet Pan Panko Salmon & Crispy Broccoli: One pan, so easy and so delish. Sensing a theme yet?
One Pot Creamy Turkey Rigatoni: So damn good, insanely easy to make and clean up is only one pot. You can switch up the protein used and make it dairy free if you like as well!
One Pot Egg Roll Bowls: If you crave Chinese food takeout, this is your new go-to meal. Filled with protein and veggies – feel free to add more veggies like zucchini or broccoli if you want to go crazy.
15 Minute Air Fryer Fish Tacos: Simple and efficient with maximum flavor and textures. The pickled onions are a must!
Hot Honey Chicken Meatball Bowls: An absolute flavor bomb in a meatball. What more could you ask for?
Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken: Ok technically this one takes 30 minutes, BUT makes up for it in lack of clean up time. I promise!
Shrimp Sesame Noodles: Shrimp is such a great source of lean protein! Feel free to switch these with whatever your favorite ramen-esque noodle is. You can also add more veggies like zucchini and snap peas if you want. So customizable and sooo good.
Cheesesteak Skillet: This is the one I dream about randomly during the day. So addicting and easy to make – genuinely such a crowd pleaser.
20-Minute Orange Chicken: A takeout classic, but the healthified version. Perfect served over rice and broccoli!
Healthier Shrimp Scampi: Another healthified version of a classic. I like to eat this one with protein pasta and a big crunchy salad!
Gochujang Turkey Stir Fry Lettuce Cups: This one is so light, fresh and flavorful without leaving you feeling unsatisfied. You can serve this in lettuce cups or rice if you are wanting a heartier meal.
Cauliflower Gnocchi Skillet: Gluten and dairy free! Yes, you read that right. Limited number of ingredients and in one skillet for easy shopping and cleanup.
Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers: For my vegetarians and meat-eaters alike! Been making these for 5+ years now and they never miss. So easy and delish and make great leftovers!
